Alicorn
It was originally built by Yuktobania under Project Alicorn as a successor to the Scinfaxi-class submarines.[1] The submarine features UAV launch bays, a runway for manned fighter aircraft, and a massive rail cannon capable of firing nuclear shells.[1] The submarine designated SAC-900, known as the Alicorn, is a massive nuclear-powered vessel and the sole representative of its class of submersible aviation cruisers within the Ace Combat universe.[1] The primary adversary in the downloadable content missions for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is the Alicorn.[1]
Players can encounter the Alicorn as an Emergency Sortie within the non-canon multiplayer mode of Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, titled Ace Combat Online.[1]
